In this study effects of the natural wind and the forced smoke ejection by operating the exhaust fan are studied numerically to examine the flow characteristics of the smoke and heat generated from a fire on the platform of an underground subway station. Three different situations, including 1) the case with no natural wind and no exhaust fan operation, 2) the case with natural wind but no exhaust fan operation and 3) the case with no natural wind but exhaust fan operation, are considered for the numerical analyses. The numerical results show that the natural wind causes a rapid spread of the fire along the tunnel resulting in rapid spread of the smoke and heat over the platform which affects the escape. The operation of the exhaust fan also results in the rapid spread of smoke and heat over the platform, but the time required for reaching the safe escaping height of the smoke layer with the exhaust fan operation is much longer than that without the exhaust fan operation. The numerical results also show that the required capacity of the exhaust fan becomes larger when the effect of the natural wind is included.

Since there are a lot of changes in climate on domestic and natural disasters owing to the disturbance-development of the land, damages of properties and human life frequently occur due to the coastal floodings. Accordingly, it is necessary to find the area where the danger of flooding coasts is relatively high and to inform resident the characteristics of the area As a part of preventive land management to minimize the flooding damages of the coastal area, this study suggested the generation of the coastal flood hazard map that provides detailed information such as refuge path, a place of refuge, and the location of medical supplies, food, and main rescue equipment, etc. This study selected the southern region of Daebu-do as an exemplary area, conducted a document study to establish GIS data, secured pre-structured data, and suggested the method of establishing GIS data fit to the study area. In particular, it emphasized the efficient construction of the geographical spatial data that were accurate, economic, objective, and realistic in supporting the modeling to predict the flooding zone. The specific type of established database was divided into flooding risk area, flooding warning area, and flooding-volume area. The prototype of coastal flood hazard map can be widely used for efficient disaster management. Furthermore, it is considered that the map could be applied for arousing residents' attentions to the flooding, prior education, and local governments' management actions against the danger of flooding.

The performance characteristics of a smoke damper, which aims to suppress the penetration of smoke to a safe area, have been tested under the regulation of the FIS 001. However, the improvement of the test methods and the regulation has consecutively been requested. From a view-point of fluid mechanical theory, a pressure control damper, that is installed at the end of the flow control system, is important and it dominates flow characteristics in all designed flow systems. In this study, the weak points of the regulation of the FIS 001 concerned with the pressure control damper was visited and the some important characteristics of the damper was examined. Based on these results, it was confirmed that the effects of flow disturbance in the air supplying duct on the performance of the damper are not significant. This results gives some information for the modification of the experimental regulation concerned to the pressure control damper.

In fire simulations for building fire safety evaluation, changes in the fire area and grid size can significantly influence the prediction results. Therefore, the effects of area changes of the fire source with identical maximum heat release rates on the prediction results of a compartment fire were investigated. The dependence of the prediction results on the grid size using the identical fire area was also examined. No significant changes were observed in the thermal and chemical characteristics of the fires with variable grid sizes, even though the fire area was changed when six or more grids were set based on the fire diameter. In addition, changes in the fire area caused significant differences in the prediction of major physical quantities associated with available safety egress time (ASET) within a compartment. However, the fire area changes did not considerably influence the overall fire characteristics outside the compartment after reaching a certain distance from the opening.

본 연구에서는 해안 도시 하천의 범람으로 인한 홍수 재해 발생시 예상될 수 있는 피해에 대해 적절한 홍수예경보 및 피난대책을 수립하고자 대표적인 해안 도시 하천의 특성을 가지는 부산시 온천천 유역을 대상으로 수치지도에서 각종 지형자료를 추출하였고 수문 GIS 자료를 구축하였다. 그리고, 하천 수리 분석을 위한 한계유출량 산정을 위해 HEC-RAS 모형을 이용 조위의 영향을 고려하여 홍수위 및 한계유출량을 산정하였고 수문 분석을 위한 도시 돌발 홍수 기준 우량 산정을 위해 PCSWMM 2002를 이용하여 기준 우량을 산정하였다. 전형적인 해안 도시 지역 유역 특성을 나타내는 부산시 온천천 유역에 대한 경보발령 기준을 설정하기 위하여 선정지점 세 곳의 한계수심 $H_{c1},\;H_{c2},\;H_{c3},\;H_{c4}$가 발생할 수 있는 강우량(위험 홍수량을 유발하는 위험 강우량(Trigger Rainfall))을 산정하였고 PCSWMM을 이용한 모형화 기법으로 해안 도시 돌발 홍수 기준 우량을 산정하였다. 산정 결과 온천천 유역의 홍수예경보 시스템과 이에 따른 홍수예경보 발령흐름도, 운영체계가 결정되어 해안 도시 돌발 홍수예경보 방안이 구축되었다. 해안 도시의 홍수 관리는 도시 우수 시스템, 하천, 해안 특성이 복합된 문제이다. 현재 해안 도시 지역의 홍수예경보 시스템 구축 실적이 전무한 실정임을 볼 때 현실적으로 실용화 할 수 있는 시스템 개발을 해내는 것이 무엇보다도 시급하고 중요한 문제이다. 앞으로 더욱 심도있게 연구하여 주요 하천에 대한 홍수예경보 시스템 구축이 절실히 요구된다.

Combustion characteristics and toxicity of combustion gas of wallpaper samples were analyzed to evaluate the fire risk of wallpaper furnished in living space. In this study ash residue ratio was measured with high temperature electric furnace, and thermal analysis was carried out with TGA. Combustion time and smoke concentration were measured with cone heater and combustion gas analyzer. Smoke density of samples was measured using smoke chamber of ASTM E 662. The experimental results were showed as followings. Pyrolysis of silk wallpaper started at lower temperature compared to the other samples. It means that the silk wallpaper can be ignited at low heat flux and will have more fire risk than the others. Ignition time by radiation heat flux of silk wallpaper is shorter compared to the other samples, so evacuation time must be reduced. In the case of vinyl coated silk wall paper, carbon mono oxide concentration is the highest and the toxicity and damage effect to consciousness was stronger compared to the other samples. Smoke density of silk wall paper and fire retardant mixed coated silk wall paper were very high due to vinyl coating.

최근 기후변화로 인한 국지성 집중호우와 태풍 등으로 홍수피해가 급증하고 있음에 따라 침수지역에 대한 공간적인 분석과 사전 예측으로 피해를 최소화하려는 노력이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 소유역 별 평균화된 매개변수로 홍수량을 산정하는 집중형 모형이 아닌 분포형 모형을 적용하여 남강댐 유역의 유출량 산정 및 침수예측을 분석하였다. 분포형 모형은 격자체계를 기반으로 유역에 각 격자별 공간적 특성이 반영된 매개변수를 적용하므로 유역의 특성을 효과적으로 반영하므로 집중형 모형보다 정확한 해석이 가능하다. DEM, 토양도, 토지피복도 등의 격자크기 $240{\times}240$의 지형공간 자료를 ArcGIS를 이용하여 남강댐유역의 Flow direction, 경사도, 하도경사, 불투수율, 유효공극률, 조도계수, 토양심도, 수리전도도, 토양흡인수두 등의 수문매개변수를 추출하였다. 강우 자료의 경우 티센(Thiessen)법에 의해 선정된 남강댐유역 주변의 장수, 거창, 진주, 합천, 산청, 남원 강우관측소의 100년빈도 확률강우량 산정하여 24시간 확률강우를 3분위 Huff 분포시킨 후 강우의 공간적 통계특성을 반영하는 크리깅(Kriging)기법으로 적용하여 강우보간을 실시하였다. 침수예측을 위해 $Vflo^{TM}$모형을 이용해 48시간의 강우모의시간 홍수수문곡선 유도 및 홍수량 산정하였으며, 시간에 따른 침수 시뮬레이션하여 침수예측도를 작성하였다. 작성 시 침수심의 정도에 따라 5개의 구간으로 분류해 침수위험지역을 확인 할 수 있도록 도식화하였다. 본 연구에서는 남강댐유역의 침수위험지역을 개략적으로 예측할 수 있었으며, 추후 연구에서는 보다 조밀한 격자크기와 강우를 이용하여 분석한다면 향후 피난 정보 제공과 홍수재해지도 작성, 홍수방지 시설물 건설 또는 홍수보험계획 등에 응용이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Kangwon province has been suffering from the various types of disasters and these disasters stand in the way to sustainable development. The heavy rainfall by typhoon RUSA in 2002 and HAEMI in 2003 damaged to property and bodily injury, and gave us a lesson. Even if the refuge activities plan by local government plan for disaster were established with rainfall event, it could not its role in practice. Beside it, the potential disaster risk remains still in existence because the disaster restoration work aims to original state. Therefore, in this study we focused on the point at issue of disaster countermeasure plan by local government and its integrated plan considering local characteristics.
